Well Cods. I would have (as a Nurse in a Psyche Ward) probably have done the same to restrain a big amphetamine junkie like Floyd who could rip my arm from my socket if I allowed his paranoia to get the better of him.
And let me tell you, handling such people, even in a Psyche Ward is a quite a challenge (coming from someone who had over 100 fights in the Druitt before High School and has jumped in the Ring at Daniel Geales gym to fight the Australian UFC champ at the time and ex-pro Boxer the Liberty Valance). So many fellow staff have been injured long term due to a more passive approach, by people like him. It has nothing to do with race or culture - except to exploitive Black Racists and Media.
That cop in particular has had previous experiences of nearly losing his life. The whole BLM (which the Media now doesn't like showing, in favour of the Capitol building episode instead
) action would expect all cops to say
"Stop! Or we'll say Stop again!" They weren't even officially arresting him.
Like I said. Look what happened to those two Australian Cops who released an offender who exploited the Floyd agenda and 'cried'
"I can't breath." - they nearly lost their lives.
Sure, maybe the knee was on too long. But for normal people, it wouldn't have. Floyd being high as a kite and overdosing from the panic - the abnormality is what killed him.
If they were little Chinese Cops - they would have shot him point blank for their own protection.
Floyd killed himself and the Cops are being thrown under the bus by the Media in support of the BLM.
Remember - those Riots (and 'everything' else) was an attack upon the American people.
The storming on the Capitol building wasn't and was a fraction of the violence in comparison.
But still the Media portrays it as otherwise. Hell, those 'storm-troopers' all looked like Nerds.
